PRS Modern Eagle V Black Goldburst Inc Hardcase

What PRS Have to Say:

The Modern Eagle V is an innovative instrument that offers highly musical tones for both recording and playing live. Utilizing a hum/single/hum (five-coil) pickup layout and unique electronics configuration, the Modern Eagle V gives players a vast array of tones in one guitar. The 5-way blade switch selects the pickups in intuitive groupings: treble, treble and middle, middle, middle and bass, and bass. There is a single volume and a push/pull tone control that activates both humbuckers when engaged; this allows players to access all three pickups simultaneously. Finally, the mini toggles allow players to individually separate the humbucker coils, turning the outside pickups into true single coils. This electronics design puts a whole set of classic and new tones at your fingertips. Additional appointments include a maple top and mahogany back, a 22 fret, 25" scale length, Pattern mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, bone nut, and PRS patented Gen III tremolo.

True Single-Coil Tone

The PRS Modern Eagle V features individual toggle switches for each pickup to switch between hum bucking and single coil tones. When humbuckers are coil split usually via a 5-way switch or push/pull knob the unused coil is technically still in the circuit. The mini-toggle allows the PRS humbucker to become an isolated single coil, which removes the unused coil entirely from the circuit. This method allows for a much better single coil sound.

TCI Pickups

TCI pickups are the next leap forward in guitar pickup technology, this stands for Tuned Capacitance and Inductance. This idea came about from Paul working with John Mayer on the development of his signature model. Due to this process PRS are now able to tune their pickups to target the specific inductance and capacitance that they want. This gives PRS full control over the voicing of each pickup and allows for much better consistency between each set.
